See Now, Buy Now: This Todd Snyder Canvas Jacket is the Rugged Workwear Staple You Need Now

Best workwear jacket for men.

The best rugged menswear for the job comes in all shapes and sizes, and from some unlikely spots, too. Take Todd Snyder. The famed American menswear designer turned back the clock to his Midwest roots with the seriously cool, tough Todd Snyder Canvas Farmer’s Jacket, which has the potential to become one of the best workwear jackets in your arsenal.


Think of it like that trusty Carhartt jacket you wore decades ago, just made modern. Workwear style really is all the rage these days, no matter how much or how little time you spend out in the field. And to this Brooklyn style writer, it’s nice to have well-made, reliable style staples that exude casually rugged style — in fact, in today’s climate, I could see this cleaned-up workwear jacket fitting in well just about anywhere (aside from an overly formal office, that is). So, think the Todd Snyder Canvas Farmer’s Jacket is right for you? Let’s dive on in and see what might make this your new favorite workwear jacket.

The silhouette of the Todd Snyder Canvas Farmer’s Jacket is subtle and uncomplicated: A turndown corduroy collar and cuffs for warmth, subtle style and protection against the wind, complete with side-slant hip pockets. It’s not unlike your favorite Carhartt or Dickies jacket, yet the Todd Snyder Canvas Farmer’s Jacket has the stamp of approval of one of the country’s best menswear designers. The midweight cotton canvas is sturdy and abrasion-resistant, yet easier to move around in compared to a jacket that’s been waxed.

And helpfully, the Todd Snyder Canvas Farmer’s Jacket has a slimmed-down, modern fit: Consider this rugged workwear jacket as a replacement for a blazer with olive chinos and a white Oxford shirt, or go timeless and style the Todd Snyder Canvas Farmer’s Jacket with a chambray shirt and black jeans. Note that it’s unlined, so the ever-reliable Todd Snyder Canvas Farmer’s Jacket functions better on more temperate days (not during winter blizzards).


Either the clean Natural color or a rich shade of Tan are also versatile, pleasingly rugged style options — and of course, since it’s Todd Snyder we’re talking about here, the Todd Snyder Canvas Farmer’s Jacket is pricier at $398 (thanks to the Japanese cotton canvas fabric), but given that you can wear this jacket easily in three seasons, it’s one of the best workwear jackets for men. Shop accordingly right now, my friends.

Best shawl cardigan for men.

Building a proper menswear wardrobe is all about keeping things well-rounded, about having reliable pieces that can function well in multiple situations — and of course, it’s about finding men’s style essentials that are, well, fun to actually wear (on Christmas Eve and well beyond!). Imagine that, ehh? One of the best cardigans checks those boxes, as you might be able to see above — it’s retro, it’s rugged, it’s easy to layer and it’s just a classic men’s style pick from one of America’s best menswear designers. Let’s carry on, shall we, and dive into the Todd Snyder Boiled Wool Shawl Cardigan — and why? Because it’s a standout example of the style, my friends.


Especially in the winter months, when grey, cold weather is the norm, it’s worthwhile to invest in a few cozy, rugged, comfortable pieces that can actually make dressing for the cold weather just a bit fun, or at the very least… more stylish. For my money’s worth, the Todd Snyder Boiled Wool Shawl Cardigan hits all the right notes.

One of the best shawl cardigans for men is assuredly an indisputable winter style essential and a personal favorite of this writer when the thermostat plunges in Brooklyn. Helpfully, the Todd Snyder Boiled Wool Shawl Cardigan is just about everything you need in the style, from quality to rugged appeal — and yes, it’s fun to layer up like Daniel Craig in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo every now and again!

The specs on the Todd Snyder Shawl Cardigan set it apart from the pack — and yes, they make it very much worth your while when it’s time to invest in one of the best sweaters for men this winter. Sadly, you won’t find the Todd Snyder Shawl Cardigan in the Todd Snyder Winter Sale, but don’t let that discourage you.


It boasts a classic fit, making it easy to layer over an equally rugged men’s chambray shirt or one of the best flannel shirts, and the shawl collar adds bulk, warmth and visual appeal (there’s a reason style icons like Steve McQueen loved the shawl cardigan, after all). The Todd Snyder Shawl Cardigan comes in two crisp, classic colors (Olive and Navy), and it’s rounded out with three front pockets for visual appeal.

When you want a dependable, rugged, essential winter sweater, move the Todd Snyder Shawl Cardigan to the top of your seasonal shopping list, and get that credit card at the ready — again, it’s worth the investment.

See Now, Buy Now: The Todd Snyder Italian Knit Sportcoat Is the Best Fall Blazer to Shop Now

They say that when wearing any fine tailoring — or, for instance, one of the best men’s blazers — it’s crucial that the blazer or suit jacket doesn’t wear you. As in, your choice for one of the best blazers for men should look natural, stylish, comfortable and well-fitting. And as we move into a new season (fall, the best time for menswear on the market!), you should look to hit all the right notes with the Todd Snyder Italian Knit Sportcoat. It’s the perfect example of a blazer that doesn’t “wear you” — rather, it’s got a soft-shouldered, more easygoing design, exceptionally soft Italian cotton fabric and plenty of style points.

And when I say plenty of style points, I mean it: Todd Snyder is known for taking traditionally stuffy classics and making them more casual, easygoing and cool. The Todd Snyder Knit Sportcoat is a perfect example of this approach, without any of the padding or design details that can make a blazer uncomfortable to wear.

Best classic blazer for men.

Plus, the Dark Brown color fits right in with fall style essentials, which is exactly the sort of move you should be looking to make right now (and classic Navy isn’t a bad move, either). Heck, Todd Snyder already makes one of the best summer blazers, so consider this like a fall and winter-worthy alternative, too.

Like most Todd Snyder menswear picks, it’s pricier than average (quite a bit pricier at $698), but it’s absolutely worth it to invest in the Todd Snyder Italian Knit Sportcoat. It’s the kind of blazer you can wear with, say, a Todd Snyder T-shirt as easily as a classic Oxford shirt and the best men’s chinos, for instance. Make no mistake, it’s also a blazer you can wear with jeans, plus your favorite pair of leather boots. If you ask me, that’s a standout fall style look, and you won’t regret investing in one of the best blazers for men this season. Go to it, my friends.

In fact, you can even team up these stylish men’s chinos with one of the best Todd Snyder polos right now, then keep on wearing those same chinos on into fall and winter with the proper layers. The specs, all the while, remain outstanding.

Case in point: The Todd Snyder Slim-Fit 5-Pocket Chinos are made from a stretch cotton blend that’s also been garment-dyed for even more comfort right out of the box.
